Chippewa Valley Audubon Club Program and Meeting

Learn about hibernation, why bats do it, and where in the state hibernating bats are found. Eastern Michigan University’s Dr. Allen Kurta will discuss overwintering behavior of the nine species of bats
in Michigan and concentrate on those that overwinter underground, in mines and caves. The presentation will conclude with an introduction to white-nose syndrome, a fungal disease that has killed millions of hibernating bats in eastern North America and decimated populations throughout our state.
